Upgrading from GTX 780

[Joshontech]

I built my PC back in 2012 I have an AMD FX 8350, Crosshair V mobo, and a GTX 780. The 780 was an add on later. I am looking for a good gpu upgrade to this card. I want to be able to do 4k gaming and not have to upgrade the gpu for at least 3 years or so. I have no budget yet so just give me the most reasonable suggestion. I have looked at the 1080ti but im not sure I am willing to drop that kinda cash on a card just yet.

I am planning on doing a upgrade to the cpu and all necessary components attached to that so I wont be cpu bound in games. Unless you guys think I could get away with my cpu than ill reconsider.

You are trying to upgrade video card in one of the worst pricing trends for video cards in last 10 years. You better pray that the crypto currency all crash real fast so the crypto miners would dump all their video cards.

But if you want 4k gaming, even the 1080ti is probably going to fall short. If you are happy with 4K 60fps for current gen games, then the 1080ti barely qualify. And right now you will need something like a 8700k to keep from gimping
that 1080ti.

I have a 1080 Ti, and a 8700k, I've overclocked both and it runs very good on a typical 1080P 144hz monitor, HOWEVER, on some games it can struggle, so thoughts of 4k gaming, you would need to get a very good CPU and like the other guy said, the Ti barely qualifies, its good and all but the price right now is shit. Mine was $900, and it sold out in 2 hours, it was all I could get, so even if you do go for a 1080 Ti, you're either gonna be settling for less, or you gotta wait for them to come back in stock, good luck on that one. For me I would wait on the 4k gaming, I thought about getting amonitor that could do that but it is just so hard to right now. Stick with someone a little less, maybe 4k gaming can wait, if you dont wanna wait, you gonna have to drop that $$$

I don't need to have 4k gaming right now I was just under the impression that the 1080ti was capable of doing 4k easily. I am satisfied with my 780 for 1080p gaming cause it runs all the games I have fine. I just turn down all the settings except for the graphics quality to me that is the most noticeable setting and I won't go any lower than high settings. Good news is that all my games run on ultra graphics quality. It could also be that the newest game I own is dragon age Inquisition lol. I haven't had time to play new games so I haven't bought any. I think that the game company of heroes 2 is the only game that really lags if I put all the settings up to ultra. So I guess I will wait on the 4k gaming scene.

I still plan on getting a 4k monitor though. Because I do some photo editing and video editing and it's impossible to edit 4k on a 1080p monitor lol.
